FRASER TOWNSHIP CEMETERY, also known as the "OLD STATE ROAD
CEMETERY" located in FRASER TOWNSHIP, BAY COUNTY, MICHIGAN. T 16 N
- R 4 E. NE 1/4 OF NW 1/4 OF Sec. 11, on the west side of Au Sable-Old
State Rd. between Coggins and Newberg Roads.
This cemetery has been in use since the early 1880s. Many
graves appear to be unmarked. It is well cared for and is operated
by the Township.
Please note that the photos are 640x480, 256 colors, and slight JPEG
compression. While this creates rather large files (66K to 135K
per photo) it does give the best resolution for picking out details on
the headstones. Please note that all photos are (C) Copyright 1999
by Bill Carney. Permission is granted for individuals to download
the photos for their own personal, not for profit use. Use by
commercial or non-profit corporations, "data co-operatives", etc. is
strictly prohibited. (I have to protect my rights from those would
would steal these and sell them as their own).
Starting in the Northeast corner, to the right of the gate:
